It will have a Vin. plate fitted. That will show the manufacturer.
That information will also be on the registration documents.

Cheers,
Peter

It's a....It's a......It's an oldie but a goodie!
Hope you enjoy it! I'd be reproofing the canvas if you haven't already done it.
We loved our tent top Bushwacker Camper Trailer, took it everywhere behind our 80's Subaru 4x4 Wagon.
Who needs a flash caravan to enjoy the bush?

It looks more like a Coleman Camper.

I believe Jayco have there first or very near first camper and it really is not unlike what there wind up campers look like today.

Would the camper have a 3 way chest frig in it. I have edit my post as I didn't get the interior photo until I reopened the page.

Yes I do believe it is very similar to our friends early Colman and I think earlier again then 1980s.

Hope this helps to throw light on your manufacturer, we are away from home base, I am sure I have photos of his camper, we were tenters and I would giggle to myself why would camp in that, I now bite my tongue after progressing to a Cub Camper and then Caravan as I got older.

 Yes it a doozie and needs a bit of TLC but its a nice camper we live in Quilpie and we travel to other towns for either a night away or shopping and cost of motel are crazy so this is our new companion, we will enjoy it alot.

 It's an 84 model. Compliance plates did not start until 89.
